Bronze Age (1970-83)

Bronze Age saw a continuation of the popular characters but with a return to darker plots regarding real-life issues seen in the early Golden Ages such as drug use, poverty and pollution. Unlike the previous ages, there was no one clear event that kicked off the Bronze Age, but rather an undeniable trend in the industry overall. It also marks the end of many great writers’ careers and ushered in new, younger writers that put their own spin on storylines.
